Top 100 Beauty Products of All Time - 2014

Leading Australian online social beauty network beautyheaven.com.au has today unveiled its list of the Top 100 Beauty Products of All Time, revealing that Aussie women value their favourite fragrance above all other beauty products.

Beautyheaven’s list of Top 100 Beauty Products of All Time reveals the ‘crème de la crème’ of the beauty world, which showcases the most-loved products in the cosmetics cases of women across the country. Determined by total number of reviews and overall star rating as from beautyheaven’s 160,000 members, the products taking out the top spots include:

1. Viva La Juicy, by Juicy Couture
2.  Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II, by Estée Lauder 
3. Eye Shadow, by MAC
4. Dermalogica daily microfoliant, by Dermalogica
5. IV styler, by GHD 
6. Application Brush, by Nude by Nature 
7.  EyeStudio Color Tattoo Eye Shadow, by Maybelline New York 
8. Instant Hand Sanitiser Original, by Dettol 
9. Powder Blush, by MAC 
10.  Crealine H20, by Bioderma

Why are these products so popular? Insights from the beautyheaven team include:

• Women are willing to invest in quality anti-ageing skin care 
• It used to be about having waterproof mascara, but what we're seeing nowadays is products that offer a fake-lash effect are much more popular 
• Articles that offer how-to guides on applying blush and bronzer are always popular among women. The Kardashian effect, perhaps? 
• What some may think of as the traditional 'boring' beauty products (like soap, pantyliners and deodorant) are the ones women buy the most, and hence are actually one of the most important beauty purchases women make 
• No. 1 is a perfume – the quickest and easiest way to make a woman feel beautiful 
• A lot of make-up products made the list, indicating women are constantly on the hunt for the perfect foundation/BB cream/lipstick 
• Leading up to Christmas time, we expect to see a focus on gel liners and volumising mascaras. These long-lasting products are perfect for summer events and celebrations in the heat. 
• Perfumes make great Christmas presents, so we expect people will return to review more of these early next year.

Carli Alman, Make-up Editor of beautyheaven, says: “The Top 100 list unveils the best of the best in the beauty world, as recommended by Australian women who have shared their real opinions on products from different categories, price points and brands.”
